I did, in fact, go searching for a woid with some relation to Star Wars,
and was pleased to find an obscure old legal term for bail, without an
obvious etymology. I managed to fool nine of you before the inevitable
Barrs vote broke my hopes, and two others trickled in later for a
respectable D3. I was prepared to offer a dealer point to anyone who
noted the significance of my deadlines, but that easter egg appeared to
go unnoticed. Oh, well!
Paul Keating's tribute to a besieging army earned him 5 points and the deal.
John Barrs, Dodi Schultz and Guerri Stevens share "real winner" honors
with 4 points each.
